"It will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original,” said Gellar. “We will try to find a balance between new and old characters. My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well.”

Ryan Kiera Armstrong is the new Slayer. Posting on Instagram, Gellar wrote: "I want to introduce you to @ryankarmstrong. From the moment I saw Ryan’s audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side. To have that kind of emotional intelligence , and talent, at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room. Welcome to #NewSunnydale #btvs" Mark Cassidy of Comic Book World earlier reported that in the sequel Sarah Michelle Gellar will be Sunnydale's resident vamp-hunter, but she will be taking on more of a mentor-type role. "The main focus of the new show will be a teen named Nova, who Buffy will take on as a trainee Slayer." The article describes Nova and six other characters in the new show. Nova's dad is one of them, but her mother is not.

According to Gellar's Instagram, the Buffy Reboot had its first table read on 21 July.
